with or without treatment, showed that At baseline and followup 442
women provided data. Mean ± SD age was 59.28 ± 12.1 years at followup.
The total incidence of any new urinary incontinence was 17% (95% CI 12.4-21.6) in unaffected women and the total resolution rate was 16.8% (95% CI 11.4-22.2) in women with urinary incontinence during 2 years regardless of receiving treatment for urinary incontinence. There was also movement of women among the diagnoses of stress only, urge only and mixed urinary incontinence during followup.
